Thanks Brent ! And you know all you have to do is set up a way and I’m sure a bunch of us will kick in. I can’t make the race because of my leg but I have a few friends with campsites that are there already. I shared Ricks (and your) story with them and told them to make a bunch of noise for him. These guys are not quiet low-key type of individuals, hopefully Rick will know they’re cheering for HIM and not someone else. Laughing

Hey just a quick sidebar on sharing your expense with the rest of us chuckleheads. When Weston was fully on his own a few of us from Pro Ride chipped in to help him out. Best money I ever spent. It wasn’t a lot of money in fact a half a drop in the bucket. But being “invested” made rooting for him way more fun. Don’t hesitate to ask man thanks again

I’m getting more and more passionate about this story, but cannot tell the same for many of the usual media outlets. Can’t believe they are not aware, so are they just not interested, or worst, against these kind of adventures?

Don't want to hijack this thread, but keep an eye out for another international interest, #337, Slade Smith from South Africa. He arrived is the US three weeks ago, fresh from a wrist injury. He has slowly been riding himself back into shape. He managed to qualify last week, but the bike broke on the sighting lap, so DNS.
I’ve been keeping up with him cause he has a badass name,

Slade stays down here in Florida for the winters. One of the nicest kids all around by far.

0,5 sec off a top 10 quali. Not bad on a stock bike from the B Group!

Judging by how much faster 2nd practices were the track was probably faster for group A in both sessions.
Hopefully the bike holds up
